I haven't yet looked in depth in drivemap patch but it has some
problems. It uses preboot hook interface for which I proposed an update
in my recent patch "preboot hooks". Also it doesn't update memorymap
correctly. For this it should use my "mmap services" interface

Thanks Felix,
Hurm.. Well, if anyone is interested, I have just made a couple of
additional updates to the drivemap.path.8 code,
and now with r2104 the "unaligned pointer" issue is gone, and it is
working great on my systems. I can post the patch if you or anyone else
is interested.

Hi all,
I was wondering what the current status of a grub2 port of the
grub-0.97 "map" and "rootnoverify" commands is? I have found some
work done to this end in the "drivemap.patch" work, but I find
nothing more recent than drivemap.patch.8 dated around Aug 2008.
The current status of it are exactly what you found out.
I don't know if that'll ever change.
Could anyone give me any pointers/direction on what might be
happening here? Could it be that the "norootverify"-functionality of
grub-legasy is lacking here? Or, perhaps, that the "--force" option
is not being honored ?
rootnoverify isn't needed anymore, because root is now just a variable
and not anymore a command which tried to verify it. So basically
rootnoverify is default now.
chainloader --force just skips the check for 0xaa55, normally it
shouldn't be needed with a valid windows bootsector.
